6.3 AC Side Connection

1) Integrated RCD and RCM

The Omniksol inverter is equipped with integrated RCD (Residual Current Protective Device)

and RCM (Residual Current Operated Monitor). The current sensor will detect the volume of

the leakage current and compare it with the pre-set value, if the leakage current exceeds the

permitted range, the RCD will disconnect the inverter from the AC load.

2) Assembly Instructions

a. Strip the cable with the length 0.276 inches (9/32) - (7mm) and please be careful NOT

to nick conductors.

b. Screw off and separate each component of AC connector as follows.

c. Pass the cable through each component from left to the right as follows.

DANGER

DANGER to life due to potential fire or electricity shock.

NEVER connect or disconnect the connectors under load.

d. Use a screw driver and loose the three screws at the side of the straight plug. Then

insert the stripped N, L and PE cable accordingly to the corresponding position and

fully tighten the screws.

e. Aim the terminals on the straight plug to the holes of the grommet, and then compress

them together.

f. Finally connect the straight plug to the AC terminal on inverter. Pay attention to the

polarity of the terminals to avoid wrong connecting.

MC4 Assembly instructions

If, during self assembly, parts and tools other than those stated by MC are used or

if the preparation and assembly instructions described here are disregarded then neither

safety nor compliance with the technical data can be guaranteed.

For protection against electric shock, PV-connectors must be isolated from the

power supply while being assembled or disassembled.

The end product must provide protection from electric shock.

The use of PVC cables is not recommended.

NOTICE

DC Switch (Optional) may be integrated or external to

Inverter, and it can be used to connect or disconnect the

DC source from Inverter.

DANGER

DANGER to life due to potential fire or electricity shock.

NEVER connect or disconnect the connectors under load.

User Manual V4.2

Unplugging under load: PV plug connections must not be unplugged while under

load. They can be placed in a no load state by switching off the DC/AC converter or

breaking the DC circuit interrupter. Plugging and unplugging while under voltage is

permitted.

It is unadvisable to use non-tinned cables of type H07RN-F, since with oxidised

copper wires the contact resistances of the crimp connection may exceed the permitted

limits.

Disconnected connectors should be protected from dirt and water with sealing

caps.

Plugged parts are watertight IP67. They can not be used permanently under

water. Do not lay the MC-PV connectors on the roof surface.

Make sure the DC switch(Optional) is switched to On

position, otherwise the inverter cannot work due to power

shortage.

shows 00000000)

IP Address Displays the IP address of the WiFi (such as don't connect WiFi card

shows 0.0.0.0)

7.3 Set Language The Omnik inverter provides several languages for users to use. At the entry of Set

Language, press the key for approx. 5 seconds, you can enter the language selection menu.

Choose the language which you need with the function key, and keep this state without any

operation. When it returns to the main menu automatically, the setting has been saved.

7.4 Instructions of Safety Standard selection when power-up

1) Attentions before the operation:

Only perform this operation when the voltage value displayed on Omnik inverters LCD falls

between 80V and 300V for 1.0kW inverter or between 150V and 450V for 1.5kW/2.0kW

inverters.

Only perform this operation when the accumulative generated electricity is less than 1KWh.

2) Operation steps are as following:

a. Power on the inverter with only DC side connected, while disconnecting cables of AC

side.

b. Press the Function button until the LCD displays inverters model and hold the button for

5 seconds or more when the LCD displays the current Safety Standard. Change the

standard by pressing the Function button one at a time.

c. When the LCD displays your desired Safety Standard, hold the Function button for 5

seconds or more until it shows Safety Standard OK.

d. The Safety Standard setup is now completed.

8. Recycling and Disposal To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

and its implementation as national law, electrical equipment that has reached the end of its life

must be collected separately and returned to an approved recycling facility. Any device that

you no longer required must be returned to your dealer or you must find an approved collection

and recycling facility in your area.

Ignoring this EU Directive may have severe affects on the environment and your health.

WARNING

This device SHALL NOT be disposed of in

residential waste.

9. Troubleshooting

LCD display Possible actions

Resumable

Fault

Isolation Fault

1. Check the impedance between PV (+) & PV (-) and the inverter is earthed. The impedance must be greater

than 2M. 2. Check whether the AC-side has contacts with earth.

Ground I Fault

1. The ground current is too high. 2. After cut off the AC side connection, unplug the inputs

from the PV generator and check the peripheral AC system.

3. After the cause is cleared, re-plug the PV panel and AC connection, and check PV-Inverter status.

Grid Fault Fac Over Range

Vac Over Range

1. Wait for a moment, if the grid returns to normal, PV-Inverter automatically restarts.

2. Make sure grid voltage and frequency meet the specifications.

Utility Loss

1. Grid is not connected. 2. Check grid connection cables. 3. Check grid usability. 4. If grid is ok, and the problem persists, maybe the fuse

in the inverter is open, please call service.

Over Temperature

1. The internal temperature is higher than specified normal value.

2. Find a way to reduce the ambient temperature. 3. Or move the inverter to a cooler environment.

PV over Voltage

1. Check the open PV voltage, see if it is greater than or too close to 500VDC (for Omniksol-1k/1.5k2k-TL).

2. If PV voltage is less than 500VDC, and the problem still occurs, please call local service.

Permanent

Fault

Consistent Fault Disconnect PV (+) or PV (-) from the input, restart the

inverter.

Relay-Check Fail

1. Disconnect ALL PV (+) or PV (-). 2. Wait for a few seconds. 3. After the LCD switches off, reconnect and check again. 4. If the problems remain please call local service.
